Beyond Your Emotional Intelligence:

 

The Adversity Quotient: We all have challenges, but we try and manage them and thrive despite adversity. 

Adversity Quotient, commonly abbreviated as AQ, refers to an individual's resilience and capacity to handle setbacks, challenges, and adversities effectively.

High AQ is associated with greater success in various areas, including career, education, and personal relationships. 

 Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to manage both your own emotions and understand the emotions of people around you. It’s a little harder to “manage” the emotions of other people – you can’t control how someone else feels or behaves. But if you can identify the emotions behind their behavior, you’ll have a better understanding of where they are coming from and how to best interact with them.

 High EI overlaps with strong interpersonal skills, especially in the areas of conflict management and communication – crucial skills in the workplace. Employees who can self-regulate their emotions are often able to avoid making impulsive decisions – they think objectively before they act. Operating with empathy and understanding is a critical part of teamwork; being able to attribute someone’s behavior to an underlying emotion will help you manage relationships and make others feel heard. On an individual level, being aware of your feelings is the first step in not letting those feelings control you. Recognizing how you feel and why will help you to sit with those feelings and then move forward in a productive way.

 Effective leaders are often very emotionally intelligent. In the workplace, it’s important for leaders to be self-aware and able to view things objectively. This translates into understanding your strengths and weaknesses and acting with humility. This has to be balanced with empathy – employees who feel appreciated and valued at work aren’t only happier, but more productive.

 Fortunately, you can improve your EI skills with some thoughtfulness and practice:

 NB: 70% of businesses have been killed by failure to fuse Emotional Intelligence with Business Goal. Employees are a big problem until you deal with your our ability to reason with them.

Try to slow down your reactions to emotions – next time you feel angry, try to sit with it before lashing out. Why are you angry? Did someone upset you? What do you think was the emotion underneath their behavior?

Think about your strengths and weaknesses. No one is good at everything, and that’s okay! Know yourself and when to ask for – or offer – help.

Put in the effort to understand what people are communicating non-verbally. If you ask someone to help you on a project and they agree, but sound hesitant, recognize that they may feel overwhelmed or confused or they come from a different background and understanding than your own. It’s important to validate and address that before moving forward.

Work on communicating effectively and openly. Make sure your main point is clear, cut out information that isn’t relevant to the person you’re talking with, and give your full attention when someone else is speaking.

NOTE: No one is good at everything, and that’s okay! Know yourself and when to ask for – or offer – help. my team is ready to offer you the help you badly need to restore the lost glory of your Business.

Swimming with the tide:

Image
In the book, How did I get here? , I read about the moment my life changed. Well, in truth, it wasn’t a single moment. It was a series of moments—nudges, whispers, and eventually loud, undeniable calls—that arrived at a time when I was ripe for change. I’ve always been a deep thinker, prone to questioning the world around me. I suspect I was destined to follow a more contemplative path. Yet, even now, as I reflect on this journey, I find myself caught in the tension between two lives. On one hand, there is the life I dream of: simple, free, filled with time to write, create, and immerse myself in the practice of Buddhism, allowing its principles to flow into every corner of my daily life. On the other hand, there is the material life—the one where I must secure a roof over my head and food on my plate. These two lives are not naturally aligned, and navigating the gap between them often feels like swimming against the tide. The Tide of Society In society, success is often measured in ma...

 Life is a circle of CONTRIBUTION I contribute. You contribute.  We contribute.  When any party ceases to contribute, the circle will be broken and leakages will be discovered.  Whatever you are enjoying today is someone else's contribution.  Whatever you are lacking today is because someone who is suppose to contribute didn't. Don't be that person, who because he refuses  to contribute, causes leakages to the circle.  Every person on earth is here to contribute to make the world a better place.  Contribution is the essence of living. You can contribute anything useful.  You can contribute in knowledge, in understanding, *in wisdom,  in love, in peace, in resources, and in finances. Also, You can contribute physically, spiritually,  intellectually, financially,  morally etc. When you contribute, people will eat, when people contribute you will eat.  Ask yourself:  What is my contribution in that place that I am?
